Fun times - Thanks to Jaden and Henry who took us on the back of a scooter and took us to places we would never come to visit ourselves. In different districts and different styles of food. The guys were very friendly and fun to talk with.

Must Do in Ho Chi Minh City - Best street food tour, hands down! Henry and Son were amazing guides and really showed us the best that Ho Chi Minh City has to offer by motorbike. We laughed, ate, drank beer and took in all of the amazing sights and sounds of the city. We have already recommended this tour to other tourists we have met and the hotel we stayed at so they could recommend it to other guests. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Vietnam! Cảm ơn, Henry and Son!

Great food with fantastic guides - Long and Khoa were fantastic guides and also really good company, we had a really great evening and learned so much about local food and customs. We felt so well looked after and their driving was careful and considerate at all times. Their English was also perfect. I’d encourage anyone who wants to try real local food with two genuinely nice guys to book this tour and ask for Long and Khoa!

A “MUST DO!” - Our guides, Giang and Duy were delightful and very knowledgeable. We took the private tour as one of us is pescatarian and they were able to customize the tour to accommodate this very nicely. I particularly appreciated getting detailed explanations of the food and how to eat it. Every bite of food was delicious. We went off the beat and path at times to some great spots that we would never have gone to or found on our own. There were many stops and we were very full but enjoyed all of them. We also got to see lots of areas in and around the city which was fun, as well as the flower market. Riding the scooters with the guides was also fun and we felt safe as they were very careful. Definitely recommend this tour and these guides!

Best City Tour! - What an amazing tour, guided by enthusiastic Vietnamese college students. My wife and I had a blast winding through the different districts on scooters driver by passionate English speaking local guides. Do go hungry, as we were pretty full by the end of the tour. There’s just enough history ( food and culture) sprinkled into the tour that keeps one interested about learning more. Highly recommended to go at night.

The most amazing experience!!! - Amazing trip! Well looked after from start to finish. Saw places we would never have found. Tasted food we would never have found - all delicious! Very well fed!! The students were very knowledgeable and gave an insight into their history. They will talk to you about anything from their history to present day living, their hopes and dreams and they are eager to learn from you too! Excellent motorcycle skills, felt very safe and what a thrill to drive along the roads with the locals. From the busy main roads to the equally hectic back streets, nothing phases them but safety is always their priority. Just excellent! Just can’t fault anything about the whole experience! 100% recommend 🙌 Thank you so much, a great experience and a memory to treasure ☺️

We went to different sights including the cool backstreet food and flower street. You were all really informative, helpful and we all really enjoyed learning about you and your city. Thank you!

Arch is the best! - Arch was so sweet and a wonderful guide. I booked the tour with my grannie and he promptly greeted us at our hotel and got a car for us to get to our first location. At each stop he explained the dish and answered every question we had. I will definitely be asking for a student beer in the future haha. Loved the coconut icecream with avocado smoothie, he said it was his favourite and I can understand why. Very grateful for Arch! (not pictured are the noodles, I was getting very full and forgot to take a picture)
